Samuel Adams Octoberfest

Bottle, at my house. The only beer I buy by the case. Beautiful golden amber poured in a Sam Adams glass. A very enjoyable malty beer. A highlight of the season.

Not too bad. An easy drinking ofest from Sam. Some spice and some hops but faint. Some body with a nice head.

nice color and smell, I tried my first glass and was disapointed as far as octoberfest beers go. However, after drinking it out of the tap the hop flavor really came through, and I enjoyed it. Overall a decent octoberfest beer, I just expected more from Sam adams.

Smooth and light malt sweetness with some light banana esters towards the finish. More sweet malt and yeasty charcters in the flavor along with some light fruit. Pretty tasty.

Pretty good october. Most all the flavors were light not very profound. Hoppy character somewhat bitter. Pretty grainy.

on tap at the Metro, Chicago, pours brown with off white head. nose is sweet caramel, a touch artificial chocolate syrupy. flavor is toasted grains, caramel, earthy hop flavor. decent stuff.

rich brilliant brown shade of copper/pumpkin pie filling color with an off white head and some trails of lacing. aromas of light molasses, grain, spice and caramel. lots of caramel-y maltiness in the flavor along with grassy hops and spice with a dry almost bittered finish. medium body with soft carbonation that builds as it crosses the tongue...6/4/6/3/15/3.5

toffee, butterscotch and woodiness on a somewhat sweet backbone. medium body is on the rich side. soft creamy carbonation. 6/4/6/4/15/3.5

Taste 10/8 Draft. Looks: Dark amber thin head. Aroma: Caramel and a little roasted malts. Taste: Malty, medium bodied and a little nutty. A decent Octoberfest and one of the better Sam Adams. Taste 10/9 Bottle. Looks: same. Aroma: Smelling mostly a yeast/bread aroma (like an ESB) with a little spice. Taste: A yeastier flavor with a weaker palate.
